There are about 50 work phrases that I wish people would stop using; flesh it out, thinking out of the box, low-hanging fruit, out-of-pocket, let's circle back...I also key on the word 'like' as in "You know, like, I was here and, like, he said, and then I was like... It annoys me to the point that I can't even hear what you're trying to say to me. Then there is the person who uses phrases that they think are still 'in' but they've been 'out' for over a decade: "That cake was "da bomb" or "I like lots of bling-bling."

To get someone’s attention, Deaf people might tap someone on the shoulder.

These are generally considered inappropriate or even rude.
